The police in Mysuru on Wednesday stepped up drives against traffic offences in a bid to stem the increasing number of violations being reported across the city.
The checking of traffic violations had been slowed down over the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the top police brass resolved to intensify the checks on seeing two-fold rise in violations such as helmetless driving, triple riding, drunk driving and driving while speaking on mobile phones besides signal jumping and other violations.
The cops attached to all traffic police stations had been asked to step up the drives.
